I was in the auto repair business for many years and know my way around electrical systems. I am always late to the party on new things and thought an AGM might be greatest thing since sliced bread, although I disagree about battery tenders needed to be constantly hooked up. Do new cars come with AGM and do you hook those up also?
12.6V is a fully charged battery, after charging and within 48 hrs mine reads 12.42 on my Fluke certified calibration meter within the last 18 mos. Meter error is out of the question as one of my cheapie meters gives the same result.
Charging system voltage is 14.2V. Key off draw is 1mA well under the 5mA Honda allows, yet 2 days later my battery is at 12.4V(edit from 14.4) :bananas:after a long ride.
My battery load tester is 70A and after a 15 second draw voltage drops to 8.8V.
Hopefully the Company I bought this Yuasa battery from will warranty it for a no charge replacement.
Any and all thoughts welcome.
